Green Bay (AP) – The reports of a positive corona test with quarterback Aaron Rodgers before the top game against the Kansas City Chiefs could not only have sporting consequences for the Green Bay Packers.
As the NFL announced, according to US media, the league wants to discuss with the Packers how the accumulation could have come about in the past few days and whether all corona rules have been complied with. “Failure to apply these rules correctly has already resulted in penalties being imposed on individual clubs in the past,” it said.
According to the Packers, where the German-American Equanimeous St. Brown is also in the squad, Rodgers is on the NFL’s corona list and is canceled for the game on Sunday. The list includes players who either tested positive themselves or came into contact with someone who tested positive.
With vaccinated professionals, two negative tests every 24 hours are enough to be allowed to play anyway – the fact that Packers trainer Matt LaFleur has already confirmed that Rodgers will not play on Sunday is therefore a clear indication of a positive test for the quarterback himself. And for the fact that the football professional voted most valuable player of the previous season is not vaccinated, contrary to what was assumed. There were corresponding reports in the US media. In August, when asked about his vaccination status, Rodgers replied that he was “immunized”.
Last week, when the Packers recorded their seventh win in a row against the previously unbeaten Arizona Cardinals, star pass recipients Davante Adams and Allen Lazard were already missing because they were on the Corona list. Defense coach Joe Barry tested positive last week. In addition to Rodgers, defender Isaac Yiadom was also on the corona list on Wednesday. Jordan Love is now making his NFL debut against the currently struggling Chiefs.
